Westbound Sign

Boxed up all of her favorite things Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale Big plans and leaving friends and a westbound sign Weighed out, her choices on a scale Prevailing nothing made sense Just transportation and a blank decision She's taking off Taking off Taking off Taking off No time and no copping out She's burning daylight and petrol Blacked out the rear-view mirror Heading westward on Strung out on confusion road And ten-minute nervous breakdowns Xanax, a beer for thought And she's determined She's taking off Taking off Taking off Taking off Oh, is this salvation? Or an escape from discontent? Will she find her name In the California cement? Punched out of the grind That punched her one too many times Is tragedy 2000 miles away? She's taking off Alright --- Westbound Sign - Green Day
